“It really shows that we have a unique place in #Michigan where someone has a chance to see a #wolf, a #moose & a #cougar in the #wild. It’s something that should be celebrated, that we have the #habitat to support an elusive animal like this,”Roell said.

The cubs were spotted & photographed without their mother. #CougarCubs are highly dependent on their mothers, often staying with them for the first two years of life.

My first @peertube video!

A short recording in slow-motion of the activity of a nesting aggregation of ground-nesting bees, Colletes thoracicus, the Rufous-backed Cellophane Bee, along my driveway at the end of April 2024. I have been monitoring and observing this population since 2008.

Amazon forest felled to build road for climate summit

“A new four-lane highway cutting through tens of thousands of acres of protected Amazon rainforest is being built for the COP30 climate summit in the Brazilian city of Belém.”

Who needs a giant asteroid when we have these assholes?

#Butterflies in the #US are disappearing at a ‘catastrophic’ rate
Butterflies are rapidly fluttering out of existence from coast to coast at a rate that scientists worry could upend #ecosystems & undercut #pollination that sustains America’s #crops.
The total number of butterflies in the contiguous US has declined 22% over a 20yr period, as shrinking #habitat, rising #temperatures & a #toxic array of #pesticides kill off the delicate insects.

Hi #sciencemastadon, just migrated to social.edu.nl. A re-introduction: I'm a researcher working at Wageningen University and Research (#wur), studying the #ecology of #marinemammals (mostly #seals) in the Netherlands or #arctic, analysing #spatial distribution and #habitat selection based on #wildlife #tracking or #drone/ #uav/ #satellite data using #rstats

Also interested in human #behavioural ecology and alternative economic systems like #degrowth/ #postgrowth

Below movie of our research

Terrarium for Jumping Spider

Закінчила будувати тераріум для павука-стрибуна. Дівчина мого сина подарувала йому такого, і він мені так сподобався, що я вирішила завести собі теж. Правда, минулого разу в магазині мені відмовилися його продавати – було надто холодно. Ну що ж, спробую ще раз сьогодні. Хоча поки що не вирішила, який саме різновид вибрати

A completed terrarium sits on a wooden surface, designed for a jumping spider. The glass enclosure has a black frame and is filled with moss, branches, and other natural elements, creating a lush, miniature environment. A light is positioned on top, illuminating the terrarium. The background features a green wall and a wooden panel.
A workspace with materials for building a terrarium. On a wooden desk, there is a clear glass container with live terrarium moss soaking in water, a partially assembled black-framed glass terrarium, and a box labeled “The BioDude Live

Factors contributing directly to platypus (Ornithorhynchus anatinus) mortality and implications for conserving populations in the wild

" Based on details of more than 400 platypus deaths with an identifiable cause recorded since 1989,
five main factors contributed directly to platypus mortalities:

drowning in fish nets or enclosed crustacean traps (such as opera house traps),
being killed by predators (especially canids),
becoming accidentally hooked by recreational anglers who then cut the line,
becoming entangled in discarded fishing line or other types of litter and
being hit by motor vehicles

... Additional mortality factors included drought, severe flooding, being drawn into irrigation pumps and entrapment in manmade materials or infrastructure.

Disease was implicated as being the likely causal agent in two platypus deaths, including a female that died late in lactation.

Platypus mortalities were recorded throughout the year on the southeastern Australian mainland but peaked in early autumn, when many recently weaned juveniles are likely to be present. Given the very high number of platypus mortalities attributed to the use of fish nets or enclosed crustacean traps, their use should be banned in all waters where platypus population are known to occur.

Between snowy winters and holiday songs, many animals come to mind during Christmas.

There are polar bears wearing Santa hats and red-nosed reindeer pulling Santa’s sleigh. Turtle doves and the partridge in a pear tree are also immortalized in the song “The Twelve Days of Christmas.”

But climate change and habitat loss are taking a toll on many beloved animals we associate with the holiday.
